Zongman: Evolution Paradise

Moreover, these are all supernatural tales.

Jorogumo and Saeko Busujima both looked over with restrained eyes, knowing that the opportunity for the Ghost Stories Association to grow lay here.

"So, the sun disappearing from this world isn't because something happened to Princess Celestia in Equestria, is it?" Jolyne quipped.

Princess Celestia is the queen of Equestria and rules over the daytime sunlight, while her sister, Princess Luna, rules over the nighttime moon.

Then I thought of the six claps of thunder before the moon went out. Could these be the six main characters from My Little Pony?

That is, Twilight Sparkle, representing magic.

Rainbow Dash, representing loyalty

Representing generosity and rarity,

Applejack, representing honesty

Rou Rou, representing kindness

Pinkie Pie represents optimism.

If Rou Rou were to get into trouble, then the fate of the Chaos Spirit Wu Xu would certainly change.

Miss Red didn't catch the sarcasm in Jolyne's voice and exclaimed in amazement, "As expected of the guild master, I only managed to find a few clues about this kind of information by relying on that magic mirror and traveling all over the country."

Jolyne: "..."

Jorogumo also raised her hand and conjured a megaphone, cheering as if she were narrating.

"The guild leader is truly amazing for cracking the worldview in less than a day!"

Jorogumo admired her greatly!

Jolyne tapped Jorogumo on the head and said, "This is just a guess. The merging of worlds makes everything more possible, like the sun being stolen by Grey Wolf's weather cube..."

However, there are ways to verify this. We'll show this worldview to Nakano Satsuki later, and the park will respond based on how well it deciphers the worldview.

Ilya gave him an OK sign, and the human-faced dogs and the others gathered together, eager to bring some fun to Nakano Satsuki.

"Then let's get down to business."

Jolyne yawned, and when she opened her eyes again, they had turned into a noble blue. Her languid posture became solemn, causing the atmosphere in the inner hall, which had just eased slightly, to return to the cold solemnity she had when she first appeared.

The fireplace flames rose, and Calcifer's eyes, hidden at the bottom, secretly observed the situation.

It saw the hem of Jolyne's [Yinluofu] scattering golden glints as the flames rolled in the heat; it saw the bizarre ukiyo-e prints become vibrant; and the newlyweds present dared not utter a sound.

Finally, Jolyne's voice faded.

"I already understand this world."

I warmly welcome everyone here to join the Ghost Stories Association, and I believe that as long as nothing unpleasant happens, the future of the Ghost Stories Association will eventually lead you to the highest realm of the gods.

So, I hope you all won't mind having an induction ceremony for the Ghost Stories Association?

The air fell completely still, and even the flames stopped flickering as Calcifer held his breath.

The scarecrow dared not move, its senses telling it that the members of the ghost story organization were watching it, and the smiles that Jorogumo and Saeko Busujima were giving them seemed even more malicious to the scarecrow.

Onboarding ceremony?

Even if I used my brain full of straw, I could figure out what kind of control method that was, right?

I thought that was it when we surrendered. You guys didn't tell me there was this part!

I mind! I mind! Red Ballet Shoes, why don't you come out and argue your case?!

Then, the scarecrow's gaze became blank.

Because Miss Red did not refuse; on the contrary, her voice remained relaxed and elegant, as if she were answering a waiter's question about whether he wanted orange juice or plain water.

"Of course, no problem, Chairman."

"That's good."

Jolyne extended her hand, and Miss Red manipulated the doll to extend its arm and grasp it.

Shadows and black smoke swirled, and soon Miss Red, along with the manipulated queen, left two different ukiyo-e prints on the [Yinluofu].

Seeing this, the scarecrows realized they had no right to refuse. They could only temporarily dispel their resistance by saying that even Miss Red had taken the initiative to surrender, suggesting that the Ghost Story Association's prospects were indeed bright.

Chapter 376 Onboarding

In a line, Jolyne helped the Scarecrow, the Shepherdess, the Golden Goose, Calcifer, and the Magic Mirror complete their registration and induction ceremonies.

With the [Yinluofu]'s dominance effect and the various bonuses it provides to ghost stories, they are unlikely to rebel or take any similar actions.

However, considering Miss Red's strength and the top-tier ghost stories existing in this world, Jolyne decided to go to the main world later to upgrade [Yin Luofu], preferably by acquiring some more powerful control methods, in case she ever takes in a ghost story that is too powerful and then doesn't dare to use it with peace of mind.

Opening the [Human Girl Mutual Aid Manual], Jolyne discovered that Miss Red and the Shepherdess had already been included.

Red dancing shoes: 80

Shepherdess: 65

This level of favorability made Jolyne's expression strange.

Did they really surrender voluntarily?

Looking at Miss Red's character art, a phantom figure wrapped in bandages is wearing red dancing shoes. Behind it, several black runes connect to more distorted monster projections.

"By the way, where did Miss Hong recruit these ghost stories from?"

Jolyne closed the [Human Girl Mutual Aid Manual], using the rather euphemistic term "recruitment".

Not to mention the Queen and the Magic Mirror who are currently being enslaved by Miss Red, the Scarecrow and other ghost stories, although they all look ugly, have rare abilities and are strong enough to beat a hundred beggars.

Especially the flame in the fireplace; Jolyne remembered that in "Howl's Moving Castle," it was portrayed as a powerful fire demon.

“I caught them all during my travels, except for Calcifer. I made a pact with it to help it find the truth about why this world has no sun.”

Seeing Jolyne's interest in Calcifer, Miss Red added another explanation.

As for Jolyne's earlier deduction of why this world has no sun?

Calcifer wasn't entirely convinced, after all, it had barely spoken a few words to Jolyne, and such matters required more evidence to be confirmed.

"so……"

Jolyne had no objections and no intention of talking to the flame.

Calcifer isn't a good fit for the Ghost Stories Association because he's too kind.

Yes, it is kind. As a fire demon, it actually hates war, and Jolyne's Ghost Stories Association will inevitably start a war if it wants to conquer the world.

While one could try to gain favor by arguing that "starting a war is to restore order and light to this sunless world," it's unnecessary for Jolyne in her current state. He doesn't lack Calcifer's power; such trivial matters should be left to the two vice-chairmen, Saeko Busujima and Jorogumo…

"The induction ceremony was successfully completed."

Jolyne smiled, and just as the newly arrived ghosts were about to relax, Jorogumo noticed that Jolyne paused on the word "perfect".

They knew each other too well, and Jorogumo already understood her master's meaning.

"Oh, right.

I have a pumpkin monster locked up here. Are any of you its friends?

Jorogumo asked a question, and the pumpkin-colored spider also lay on her palm.

The group looked at each other and shook their heads in denial.

Miss Hong explained:

"The Pumpkin Monster is bloodthirsty and easily angered, and he doesn't get along well with other ghost stories."

However, its abilities are too unique, so under normal circumstances, it's just left to its own devices.

The so-called special ability refers to the fact that it created this pumpkin carriage with spatial properties. Just like the gingerbread man of the gingerbread witch, it can exist indefinitely. It is a rather special, powerful, and potentially potent force.

"Is that so?"

In that case, there's no need for the Pumpkin Monster, who missed the induction ceremony, to hold one for it.

Jorogumo smiled sweetly and handed the spider in her hand to Jolyne.

"Its abilities are special; if the pumpkin carriage is damaged, it needs its power to repair it..."

Miss Hong wanted to offer some advice, saying that giving up on a rare and extraordinary creature for such a reason was absurd.

The reason it surrendered willingly was because it possessed a mysterious ability to vaguely see crises and opportunities. When Jorogumo appeared before it, the Queen's magic mirror began to malfunction, and the sense of impending death and the opportunities behind the disaster almost blinded its true form.

Later it discovered that these all came from Jolyne.

It's truly baffling that the president of the Ghost Stories Association is behaving so irrationally.

"no need."

Jolyne replied, then clenched her fingers.

When he opened his hand again, the spider had transformed into several power seeds in his palm.

The operation is also very simple: transfer the Pumpkin Monster to the workshop to decompose it, and then take out the Ability Seed.

"What is this?" Miss Red asked.

"An organizational benefit."

Jolyne shrugged and asked the ghost stories:

"The power to grow pumpkins... Anyone want this guy's ability?"

Hmm... literally growing pumpkins, but the actual effect is the same as developing Devil Fruits in One Piece.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a fairy tale and ghost story; the abilities it generates are quite bizarre and powerful.

Sadako and the others naturally didn't want to miss out on such power. However, considering that there were many other strange tales in this world waiting for them to plunder abilities, the ability to grow pumpkins, which was more logistical, still made them worry that there might be better abilities to choose from in the future.

Then Ilya looked around and decisively took her mother's hand.

Irisviel: “…”

Although they talk about workplace bullying, the members of the Ghost Story Association actually know each other and don't know the extent of their relationship with Jolyne. They usually get along quite humbly and politely.

However, as the number of members increases, strength becomes increasingly important.

"Then give it to Irisviel."

Jolyne didn't care; this fantastical fairy tale world did indeed represent a considerable number of opportunities to become stronger.

Then Miss Red saw Irisviel put the power seed into her mouth, then raise her finger and a pumpkin vine grew out. The pumpkin vine kept growing longer and longer, and a strangely shaped pumpkin grew out of it.

"This is... the power of the Pumpkin Monster?"

Miss Hong said in surprise.

The scarecrows' expressions froze once again.

This is a carrot and a stick!

This is clearly telling them that even the rarest ghost stories are not important to the Ghost Story Association, because the association can strip away a ghost story's ability and give it to another ghost story at any time. And the organizational benefits that Jolyne mentioned have proven that the Ghost Story Association does indeed help them reach higher levels of power.

The premise is that, as he said before, nothing unpleasant happens.

Rigid control is not a good thing; power and benefits are more likely to win people's hearts.

After doing all this, Jolyne held Jorogumo in her arms and resumed her languid sitting posture, indicating that the ghosts could relax a bit.

The induction ceremony concluded successfully.

So, the next topic is that the Ghost Stories Association needs to choose a base of operations in this world.

Chapter 377 Land Deed

"Regarding this, I noticed that the president refers to the fairy tale world as 'this world'?"

Miss Hong asked gently.

Seeing Jolyne strip the Pumpkin Monster of its powers did not make Miss Red regret joining the Ghost Story Association.

On the contrary, after witnessing this power, Miss Red was overwhelmed with astonishment and couldn't help but dance with ecstatic joy.
